"Do you have any shame or no shame?" Bai Dalin had barely finished speaking when, before Hu Mingmei could even reply, Aunt Liu rushed out of the yard, carrying a washing stick that looked like the kind used for washing clothes.
Aunt Liu stormed out, her fist raised high. Seeing Hu Mingmei being pulled by Bai Dalin, she flew into a rage, grabbing Hu Mingmei behind her. "Have you no shame? You're only bullying our young master because he's new here! Our young master and young lady are completely innocent, we see everything clearly! How dare you, a father, say such things? Spreading bad rumors about your own daughter everywhere! You call yourself a man?! Bah!" Aunt Liu spat at Bai Dalin, then shoved him forcefully. She pushed him far away, then pulled Hu Mingmei back, saying as she did so, "Oh my young master, really! Why did you have to pay attention to that person? You don't know, that person is extremely wicked. Putting aside what I don't know, I've seen him so many times. He claims to be the young lady and young master's father, but he doesn't act like a father at all! If I hadn't heard you calling me, you wouldn't have been able to leave! You're a man, don't be afraid of him! If he blocks your way again next time, just hit him, beat him up, lay a hand on him! That's what the young lady did!"
Hu Mingmei lowered her eyes and remained silent. This family really had no manners. She had only stayed at the Bai family for a short day, and Hu Mingmei's understanding of the world had already been overturned.
Hu Mingmei subtly freed his sleeve from Aunt Liu's grasp and quietly followed behind her back into the courtyard. Aunt Liu said to the old woman beside her, "Oh, Auntie, you don't know, Bai Dalin stopped Young Master Hu and said some really nasty things. He even demanded rent from him. Tell me, how could he be so unreasonable?"
"If he keeps stopping you, just ignore him and leave. If it happens again, ask me to go out with you!" Seeing that the old woman hadn't spoken for a long time, Aunt Liu felt a little embarrassed. She chuckled and said directly to Hu Mingmei, then dared not say anything more and quickly started washing clothes.
On the other side, the Bai family's carriage stopped at the school gate. By this time, many people had already arrived, and the school gate was as bustling as a vegetable market.
"Brother Lu Ying, can you still come pick me up tonight?" Bai Yu jumped out of the car but didn't leave. He stood in front of Bai Nuo and Lu Ying and said to Lu Ying in a coy manner, his face suspiciously red.
Bai Nuo was speechless. She couldn't believe that this was the same Bai Yu who was so rigid and serious when she first came here, who could take care of her and her grandmother like a little adult. Now, Bai Yu was acting like an idiot!
What is it about Lu Ying that has been attracting Bai Yu and making him like this? What about her younger brother? What happened to his rigid demeanor? Seeing Bai Yu smiling like this, Bai Nuo felt a deep resentment towards Lu Ying. Bai Yu had never smiled at her like this before, but now he was smiling like this at a stranger. Could it be that Lu Ying had used some kind of sorcery on Bai Yu?
"Sure." In any case, Lu Ying is now helping Bai Nuo with his work. Bai Yu is Bai Nuo's younger brother, so it's only right that he takes care of Bai Yu. Lu Ying has always been willing to agree to such requests.
"Then can you teach me how to fly up and down?" Bai Yu made one request and then, not satisfied with that, took advantage of Lu Ying's agreement to make another request.
This is simply pushing his luck! Bai Nuo felt that Bai Yu was going too far. Lu Ying wasn't their servant, nor was he Bai Yu's master. Bai Yu kept listing conditions. "Alright, stop making so many demands. Brother Lu Ying doesn't have time to watch over you all the time. Hurry up and go inside. Don't dawdle any longer!"
"Sure!" Lu Ying laughed. "I don't have anything to do tonight, so I can teach you, but you have to do your homework well, otherwise I won't teach you!"
"Mmm!" Bai Yu cheered immediately, jumping up and down before extending a little finger, "Let's pinky swear!"
Lu Ying also stretched out her finger and tugged at him.
Then Bai Yu left with peace of mind.
Looking at her younger brother's noticeably more lively figure, Bai Nuo looked helplessly at Lu Ying and said, "Brother Lu, my brother has always been the type to take an inch and then a mile. Don't give in to his every request, or you'll spoil him."
"It's alright!" Lu Ying laughed. "Learning martial arts is a good thing. Even if you don't become a master, it can still improve your health. I think Bai Yu's health is quite poor. Learning martial arts is a good thing for him. At least it can help improve his health."
Bai Nuo: "..."
"Let me tell you, if you ever block my way again, I'll break your legs!"
"Yeah, can't you even see where you're going? Didn't you see our Brother Tong is here? You're just buzzing around like a fly, are you trying to cling to him?"
"Look at how shabby he is dressed, how dare he cling to our Brother Tong? Tsk tsk, look at those clothes, he looks like a ragpicker, how dare he be friends with our Brother Tong?"
Bai Nuo and Lu Ying exchanged a few jokes and were about to leave when they heard a commotion coming from inside the school. Looking over in confusion, they saw that many students had gathered in a circle not far away, completely surrounding the center, and students at the door were constantly running in.
